Johnson Brothers China - In 1883, Alfred, Frederick, and Henry Johnson purchased the bankrupt J. W. Pankhurst Company, a tableware manufacturer in Hanley, England, and established Johnson Brothers china. Starting small, Johnson Brothers met with success early and expanded.

Brother Robert Johnson, who lived in the United States, joined the company in 1896, expanding Johnson Brothers to the American market. By the early 1900's, Johnson Brothers China owned and operated an additional five factories throughout Hanley, Tunsall, and Burslem.

Johnson Brothers acquired several additional china manufacturing plants locally, and in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and Croydon, Australia. In 1968, Johnson Brothers became a part of the Wedgwood Group.
